"Your Highness, I was merely protecting you."

You are about to harm my father with your sword. As his son, I cannot stand idly by.

It was purely accidental that I hurt you. I am very sorry for hurting the Imperial Concubine, but I have no regrets at all.

"It's all the Consort's fault; she shouldn't have harbored thoughts of harming the Emperor."

The pain of losing an arm is unbearable for most people, let alone for Consort Liu, who was used to a life of luxury. Her face was contorted with pain, yet she still stared intently at the Second Prince.

"Ah! What a touching display of fatherly love."

Zhao Junyue, don't forget that it was your father who issued the decree to punish your mother and the Gu family, indirectly implying that he harmed the Empress and the Gu family.

He's the one who had you imprisoned for so many years, don't you hate him?

Zhao Junyue looked calmly at the Emperor.

"He is my father, and I will not allow anyone to harm him in front of me..."

All I wanted was to kill him with my own hands, but unfortunately, he was about to die without me even lifting a finger...

The third prince was also very surprised to see that the second prince possessed martial arts skills.

"Ha! My good second brother, it seems we were all careless."

I originally thought you were the most harmless one, but I never expected you to be so cunning.

He's not a useless prince at all, but rather a man of both literary and martial talents. It seems the claim that he was physically drained by indulging in women was just a lie.

The second prince raised his eyes and looked directly at the third prince.

"Third brother, these words must have been spread by you, right?"

I don't recall ever publicly admitting it.

Could it be that I have a bad memory? Or that I've remembered it wrong?

"You...you were deliberately hiding your true abilities!" The Third Prince angrily brandished his sword and glared at Zhao Junyue.

Zhao Junyue raised an eyebrow.

"So what if I did it on purpose? What can you do about it?"

“Zhao Junyue, don’t forget that everyone inside and outside this palace is my man. This throne is destined to be mine.”

"The throne?" The second prince looked coldly at Consort Liu.

"I don't care about the throne."

All I want is to avenge my elder brother, my mother, and my maternal grandfather's family.

Consort Liu and her family must die!

Seeing the Second Prince pointing his sword at Consort Liu again.

The Third Prince and Consort Liu were both anxious, and even the Emperor was speechless.

But when the emperor saw the second prince's determined look, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Guards! Quickly! Kill them all!"

Consort Liu saw the Second Prince swing his sword and dodged with all her might, falling to the ground in a disheveled state.

Seeing this, the Third Prince disregarded everything else and immediately ordered his men to take action.

Most of the Imperial Guards in the palace were Liu Guifei's men. Among the people in the room, only the Second Prince had martial arts skills. In the blink of an eye, the Third Prince and Liu Guifei gained the upper hand.

The third prince approached the emperor again, and just when he thought he was about to succeed, several men in black jumped down from the roof of the palace and shielded the emperor behind them.

"Tiger Guard!"
